Daily Workout - Chest with Total Gym in Home Gym

 

This week I'll be using the Total Gym all week long to mix up things. I usually start off with Chest, then I do Back, I move on to Shoulders, then Arms, and lastly I end off with Legs.

When you first start using a Total Gym it might seem hard, mostly because your body has never done anything like it before and there is a lot of stabilization that needs to happen. Once your body figures it out it gets much easier and in a way I look forward to my total Gym workouts most of all. Not because it is any easier but because it seems so efficient.

• Warmup: Eliptical for 10 minutes.
• Bench Press with Total Gym.
• Flies with Total Gym.
• Arm Raise Flies with Total Gym.
• 3 Stage Pushups: Planche, Extended, and Regular.
• Abs: Floor Raises x 100.
• Misc. Stretching.

Total workout time: About 1hour.

Daily Workout - Arms Split Workout in Home Gym

 

Today was a bit unorthodox! I had to leave a bit earlier today for a Mac User Group event in Blaine that I was presenting for along with my business partner. But I did have time to do a quick Arm workout - minus the Cardio and Abs portion. I was able to rip through my Arms workout in about 20 minutes and get out the door on time.

Once I got home (about 10pm) I was able to do my Cardio and a bit of stretching. Splitting up a workout is one way of making time to get your workout in, and it works really well if you primarily workout at home.

• Biceps: Standing Arm Curls with Dumbbells - 3 Sets.
• Biceps:  Standing Arm Curls with Pulley Curl Bar - 3 Sets.
• Triceps: Standing Extensions with Pulley Curl Bar - 3 Sets.
• Triceps: Overhead Extensions with Dumbbell - 3 Sets.
• 10 Minutes Elliptical.
• Misc Stretching.

Total workout time: About 45 minutes.

Daily Workout - Shoulders with Barbells in Home Gym

I took Sunday off and feel rested today, my shoulders felt really good and I went a bit heavier today with the barbells but still took it slow and started out light.

It's strange but some days even though I am working out with exactly the same amount of intensity, I find myself generating a ton of heat. Not only do "I" feel warm but the little room that I workout in gets really warm from my body heat, I know this because when I leave my workout room, the rest of the house feels very cool.

Everyday is different!

• Warmup: Elliptical for 10 Minutes.
• Shoulder Press with Barbells.
• Barbell Shoulder Flies in Three Positions: Forward, Side, Behind.
• Upright Row Raises with Pulley.
• Shoulder Shrugs with Smith Machine Straight Bar.
• Misc. Stretching.
• Abs: Misc Crunches & Leg Raises.

Total workout time: About 1 hour.
